atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums Wiring - Telecom Carriers - Trunks & Services T1's, CSU's and DSU's Guys I need help with a new T1 line, I'm borderline suicidal!

So AT&T kind of screwed me over?

Ok I think I figured it out.
The top NID is/was for the T1.
The bottom NID is for POTS.
Are they sending your T1 through that NID now? If so where is the smartjack?
You need to have a smartjack and card SOMEWHERE...
You had the blue cable connected to two pairs on the POTS NID...

They have me wired in slots 1 and 2 in the bigger POTS box for the T1. The Smart jack in in the small boxes door and it appears to be inaccessible to me. Its screwed down.

Currently I have white/blue and blue in slot 1 and white green and green in slot 2. Adtran says pins 1 and 2 (white/orange and orange wires) should be used for RX which I tried but it won't work.

you need to have a smartjack somewhere...
i feel like something has not been installed by your provider.

The smartjack is physically in the small box in the door of it. Once the box is opened its in the door's box. Old pictures but this is sort of how it appears when AT&T opens it.

Here it is when opened

It uses some weird screw and I don't think AT&T wants me opening it.

Well no, they don't...I guess I would just wait for them to come out, but definitely let us know what happens.

My friend whose had T1's in the past said he's always connected to the smart jack directly and never gave it a thought. Wish I could...

Okay my new friends, the mystery deepens. The Blue Cat5 that is plugged into that small box and into Port 1 of 2 of circuit 1 is the cable that is the cable I have in my router. For some reason my Dad thought it was a different blue cable and that were were hard wiring it into the POTS. The POTS wire is actually a gray wire that is wired into the smart jack box and appears to be on the AT&T side that is locked out. Here is a picture of both boxes open. If you notice a wet box its because we forgot to close it last night and it rained. OOPS!

So tomorrow I will try a different Cat 5. If that still has errors in the line then it's either the gray cable where I have to access to the other end because AT&T has that part locked or its my router needing to be serviced.

The way you have it should work if you have the other end wired correctly. Assuming as you said the blue cable goes to your router. Look at the 8 pin jack, with the clip down left to right are pins 1-8. Pins 1&2 and 4&5 whatever colors are on those pins need to be on the same pins on the other end.

The Gray one you have unplugged is if you'd hardwire instead of plugging into the jack.

If the w/or is on pins one and two on the NID end then that's what needs to be on pins one and two on the router end. Same with whatever color is on pins four and five. It should be that simple.

If I changed the wiring scheme on the gray cable it made it not work when connecting directly from the jack. Not sure why but it had a effect. Should I remove the wires that are hard wired or leave them connected? The gray one is in the POTS box.
